Born on All Fools’ Day 1865, Edith Gwendolyn Barrington grew into a beautiful woman, and yet she was haughty and unapproachable. She seemed to have little interest in men until, suddenly, everything changed. Three husbands in three years all died suddenly. Surely no woman could be so unlucky? The police were convinced it was more than just bad luck…

Before she died, Edith issued a curse on those who had brought about her untimely death, a curse to be carried down through the generations. Was it then coincidence that a string of unexplained deaths surrounded Edith’s daughter, or that there were multiple murders connected in some way with Edith’s granddaughter? Surely, all three women could not be serial killers?
